Scholar/ pianist/ media author Robert Winter is the recipient of multiple fellowships and awards, having authored or co-authored major publications and articles on composers such as Beethoven and Schubert, compositional process and performance practice. He has conducted numerous live performances and lectures covering a vast range of musical and cultural topics at orchestra and opera concerts, festivals, libraries and a host of colleges, universities, and schools of music.
An articulate international spokesperson for the role of content and the arts in the digital world, Winter has worked closely with both Apple and Microsoft in developing their early multimedia platforms and strategies. Having been invited by Bob Stein of the Voyager Company in 1989 to produce its first original interactive software title - today widely regarded as the first commercial interactive publication - Winter’s subsequent programs have been widely acclaimed as milestones in multimedia publishing. Since his last visit to NAFA in October 2013, he has released for international sale Music in the Air – the product of a decade of development and the first completely online history of Western music, incorporating even more of the features and musical experiences for which he has become so well known.
